Oh sure. I write all the time before I get a dog, then not a peep. The truth was that until we settled into a routine I had little extra time. But now we are a family. I wanted to shoot a short video showcasing some of his talents, however time and strength have worked against me. I want you all to see him and see what an amazingly beautiful dog he is. Don't I just sound like every new parent?
He picks up everything I drop and usually places it n my lap. Then I often drop it again. Sometimes by accident. Sometimes by design. He always tries again and never gives me "the look". There is nothing like that look a dog gives you when you goof up his hard work. HUMBLEING.
He is so good at picking stuff up that now we're working on discriminating between objects. I'm placing 4 objects on the floor, then try to teach him to pick up an object by command. After just a few days work I'd say he's at 70%. That's a passing grade in anybody's book.
This is a good start so far. We all like each other which we all know is the toughest part of dealing with a new roomy. Now if I can just keep him from playing his stereo so loud. I'm so tired of the "Lassie" theme, "I ain't nothing but a hound dog", and the barking dogs do "Jingle Bells.'
*love*
